True! And the “Chronic” feature on www.openstreetmap.org is not really helpful for searching deleted nodes.

Good article.

@infeeeee: Regarding deletion of history. Not sure if you simplified, but its not true that deletion of a point will delete its history.

As the article states

Deletion is not erasing the history of an object in the database.

It is just harder to find after deletion.

I recommend to use the changeset comment to be be used for this kind of plaintext information.

Unfortunately my experience with Organic Maps was, that the changeset comment cannot be changed. And for text put in the comment text field a new map note is created.

I hope that Organic Maps developer team will improve on this and will allow changeset comments.

Exactly, but please use the sport values like skateboard (not skate, not skateboarding) as they are already established for sport=*. (See https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/sport#values)

Maybe its even worth to use

sports:surfing=yes

sports:skateboard=yes

So then its more likely that we establish commonly used Tags in the sport shops and amenities.

I already contacted them, asked them to have a look on www.osm.org/copyright

My suggestion:

• create a single node with leisure=recretion_ground
• add the benches with two more nodes as amenity=bench
• add the wooden structure as building=yes

Yes that is typically, because there a lot of mappers which are contributing to OpenStreetMap by aerial imagery. Thanks to you that you add stuff from places which you know by yourself. This is very valuable.

Exactly. OpenStreetMap has a big community which is contributing. And every change can be reviewed. Or reverted if its wrong. In the changeset there should also be a source tag like “aerial imagery”, the Editor which was used and also which background imagery was used during edit. For example Bing Maps allows their high resolution imagery to be used for OpenStreetMap.

cool. Would be great if some Linux Distributions would add it to their packages

You can try to send geo URI instead. Most messangers support them.

Example: geo:52.51632,13.37731?z=19

Yes, what we need is the other way arrround! Convert Google Maps Links to OpenStreetMap.org without having to have the Google Maps App.

Nevertheless great that geo-urls are created. This is super helpfull since its supported by OsmAnd, OrganicMaps and much more.

Additionally it would be helpfull if this App registers itself to receive openstreetmap.org and osm.org URLs, so you can just share a link with it instead of copy&paste

PS: the App from F-Droid produces wrong URLs for me like https://openstreetmap/?mlat=0.0&mlon=0.0 ( i provided https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=5/52.270/11.602)

I had the feeling the author is meaning rogue in a positive way here. At least the article sounds quite positive and impressed about that project.

This seems like some kickoff post for some work which will maybe done.

I hardly believe that OpenStreetMap.org will deliver vector maps in 2024 by default when so far we not even saw a concept or demo.

Vector Graphics do not only have advantages, but can also cause difficult performance or rendering problems.

Features like clickable POIs are not dependent of vector graphics but need a whole different data distribution concept in backend.

I am using Osmand for adding POI nodes (https://f-droid.org/de/packages/net.osmand.plus/)

I wish OsmFocus Reborn would add some editing features. (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.pfiers.osmfocus/) It already allows custom background maps.

That is not true. F-Droid does not change App Source Code.

Propriety software is just not allowed for Apps which are in F-Droid. Therefore all Apps in F-Droid are free open source.

Additional F-Droid marks unwanted features such as ads and tracking as Anti-Features. (https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Anti-Features/) Therefore App developers try to avoid these.

F-Droid does not alter the App Software, therefore they cannot patching it out.

JOSM is designed to be used on a Computer with keyboard and mouse. Therefore I assume your wish will not come true.

Perhaps we need to wait until there are mobile app which can be used to fix all the hiking, biking and bus relations. (I tested Vespucci and its horrible for relation fixing)

works not with all search engines. I assume you have installed duck.com?

same for hiking and biking routes. I found some obvious errors but I am not able to fix it with ID. I created some notes for them but since several monthes nobody fixed it.
